Mera Women's Taupe Wool & Cashmere Balaclava

This cashmere and merino wool blend knit is an exceptional fabric, a soft marriage of luxury and comfort. This assembly brings finesse and lightness to the knit, which gives warm and pleasant to wear pieces. Typically knitted in jersey and in a rather dense fine gauge, this knit is used for our sweaters and for our accessories such as hats or scarves.

Our manufacturing process embodies Hartford’s commitment to high-quality, sustainable production. We prioritize local sourcing, with 80% of our products manufactured in the Mediterranean region (Morocco, Portugal, Italy), while the remainder is produced worldwide based on the origin of materials and local expertise—such as in India for certain prints or embroidery, or in China for certain specialty wools, for example. We rely on long-term partnerships, synonymous with reliability and expertise: 50% of our products are manufactured by partners we’ve worked with for over 20 years, and 80% by partners we’ve worked with for over 10 years. Finally, we prioritize contract manufacturing (60% of production) by sourcing materials ourselves in Europe, thereby ensuring full traceability and access to the finest European natural materials.
